The firewall is now capable of analyzing Windows executables and PowerShell scripts using machine learning on the dataplane. This enables you to intercept malware before it can infiltrate your network by providing real-time analysis capabilities on the firewall, which reduces the possibility of proliferation of unknown malware variants.

WildFire antivirus signatures are now globally distributed in real-time as soon as new verdicts are available. This gives you almost instant access to Palo Alto Networks complete global intelligence data that is collected from a multitude of enforcement points and that provides additional leverage for preventing successful attacks by minimizing your exposure time to malicious activity, which effectively reduces your infrastructure attack surface and the resulting damage malware can have within your network.
